A quick trip down memory lane

My folks have just paid me and M a quick visit. They have been doing some tidying up of their home and bestowed on me a couple of boxes (and sacks) of some of the detritus I left behind 15 years ago.
Going through the stuff I have made the following discoveries about my past:

1. I have a preliminary certificate in trampolining which I don't remember taking.
2. My hairstyle in the early 90s made me look like a boy.
3. I went on a trip to Northumbria when I was 11.
4. My mum drew ace pictures for my trip write up which I then coloured in.
   
5. I managed to pass a grade 4 clarinet exam - goodness knows how.
6. I got an award for house tennis in my first year at secondary school - I don't remember this either.
7. I took exams in acting and got awarded merits.
8. My taste in handbags was boring (thankfully improved).
9. I can only remember the names of my maths and French teachers.
10. I got an A for my appliqué cushion cover.
    
11. I knitted some questionable sweaters.
    
12. My family loved me very much (even my sisters).

The other thing they left here - if you are reading this Mum - is their coolbox with half a carrot cake. Yum!
